    MOO does not in any way have any server ident code.  The connection_name()
    builtin now returns the port from which the player is coming from, and with
    that, the MOO database may open a connection to the ident server, and THEN
    get the ident data.  Look at MOO2000's $network:ident_connection() verb for
    an idea of how this is done.  The address is moo.microwave.com 2000
